Overview

Organisations often run into problems when implementing new ICT systems. It is vital for them to rely on professionals who do not only know technologies but are also able to implement them in an organisation. Both technological and organisational insights are indispensable for successfully aligning ICT with business processes.

Business informatics is a broad field, and the students of the Master of Science in Business Informatics at Utrecht University are encouraged to specialize by choosing one specific theme as primary throughout their studies:

Software: How to design and maintain the complex software products that are used by millions of users?
Data: How to enable organizations to collect, clean, summarize, analyze, and visualize data in order to derive actionable insights?
Processes: How to manage, design, discover, and embed the business processes that are the heart of successful organizations?
